Pollution characteristics of heavy metals, antibiotic and antibiotic resistance genes in the crested ibis and their habitat across different lifestyle and geography.

Abstract
Antibacterial resistance in wild animals has been increasingly reported worldwide, even though they are usually not directly exposed to clinically relevant antibiotics. Crested ibis, one of the rarest birds in the world, usually forages in paddy fields and prefer to nest and breed near villages that is greatly influenced by anthropogenic activities. We sampled the feces of crested ibises, as well as their habitat environment samples, to explore the pollution characteristics of heavy metals, antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Results showed that the pollution characteristics of heavy metals, antibiotic, ARGs and gut microbiota of crested ibis were more related by host lifestyle and habitats. Captive ibises had higher relative abundances of the total ARGs and tetracycline concentrations compared with feralization and wild ibises, while the heavy metal contents had shown the opposite result. The Characteristics of pollutants in the corresponding environmental samples also exhibited high similarity with the results of fecal samples. The relative abundances of Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria were significantly different between captive and wild individuals, while the abundance of majority bacterial genera was generally higher in wild populations. The concentrations of heavy metals in soil (Cd, Cu and Zn) and water (Cd, Cu, Zn and Cr) were both exceeded the background soil levels or surface water quality standards, suggesting multi-element contamination in the habitat. Ecological risk assessments of soils by Igeo and Er showed that the habitats of wild ibises were heavily and moderately contaminated by Cd, which would possibly pose a threat to the health of ibises. PLS-PM analysis indicated that microbial compositions and residual antibiotics had the most substantial impact on the dynamic changes in ARGs of ibis. Overall, this work provides a comprehensive understanding of the characteristics, risks of those contaminations, and their effects on the ARGs in the habitat of crested ibis.

Abstract
In the last decades, wildlife diseases and the health status of animal populations have gained increasing attention from the scientific community as part of a One Health framework. Furthermore, the need for non-invasive sampling methods with a minimal impact on wildlife has become paramount in complying with modern ethical standards and regulations, and to collect high-quality and unbiased data. We analysed the publication trends on non-invasive sampling in wildlife health and disease research and offer a comprehensive review on the different samples that can be collected non-invasively. We retrieved 272 articles spanning from 1998 to 2021, with a rapid increase in number from 2010. Thirty-nine percent of the papers were focussed on diseases, 58% on other health-related topics, and 3% on both. Stress and other physiological parameters were the most addressed research topics, followed by viruses, helminths, and bacterial infections. Terrestrial mammals accounted for 75% of all publications, and faeces were the most widely used sample. Our review of the sampling materials and collection methods highlights that, although the use of some types of samples for specific applications is now consolidated, others are perhaps still underutilised and new technologies may offer future opportunities for an even wider use of non-invasively collected samples.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 806:151259. [PMID: 34715215 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2021.151259] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/13/2021] [Revised: 10/06/2021] [Accepted: 10/22/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Biochar promotes C sequestration and improvement of soil properties. Nevertheless, the effects of biochar addition on soil condition are poorly understood, especially with respect to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. A large proportion of GHG emissions derive from agriculture and, thus, recognition of the effect of biochar addition to soil on GHG emissions from terrestrial ecosystems is an important issue. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the short- and long-term effects of biochar application on soil in aspects of: GHG exchange (CH4 and CO2), basic physicochemical soil properties and structure of microbial communities in Haplic Luvisol. Soil was collected from fallow fields enriched with three doses of wood offcuts biochar (10, 20 and 30 Mg ha-1) and incubated at two moisture levels (60 and 100% WHC) with the addition of 1% CH4. To evaluate the influence of biochar aging in soil, the samples were analysed directly (short-term response) and five years (long-term response) after amendment. Generally, biochar addition increased soil pH, redox potential (Eh), organic carbon (SOC) and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) contents. Under 60% WHC, direct biochar application to the soil resulted in a clear improvement in the CH4 uptake rate. In contrast to that (at 100% WHC) methane uptake rates were twofold decreased. The positive effect was reduced due to biochar aging in the soil, but five years after application, at 60% WHC and the highest biochar dose (30 Mg ha-1) still significantly enhanced CH4 oxidation. From a short-term perspective, biochar application increased CO2 emissions, but after five years this effect was not observed. Microbial tests confirmed that the improvement in CH4 oxidation was correlated with methanotroph abundance in the soil. Moreover, an increase of Methylocystis abundance in the soil enriched with biochar along with enhanced CH4 uptake rates confirm the positive biochar influence on methanotrophic communities.

Abstract
Concentrations of the heavy metals As, Cd, Cu, Hg, Pb, and Zn in various tissues of five marine fish species and one crab species collected from the middle coast of Zhejiang Province of China were investigated in this study. The results indicated considerable variation in heavy metal concentrations in different tissues and species. Elevated concentrations of most heavy metals were identified in fish gills and crab gills and hepatopancreas, with some differences by heavy metal type. In addition, carnivorous and benthivorous fish species generally contained relatively high concentrations of heavy metals due to feeding habits and habitats. Geographical variations of heavy metal concentrations in muscle may be attributable to species-dependent differences and terrigenous contamination. The potential health risk assessment suggested that exposure doses of most heavy metals were safe for human consumption, with the exception of As.
